	abstract = {We show large {\textquotedblleft}shields{\textquotedblright} can significantly reduce horizontal component noise levels for ocean bottom seismometers by shielding the seismic sensors from shaking due to ocean currents. However, at short period (<1 s) some noise from vibration or rocking of the shield under current can partly couple through the ground causing peaks in the noise spectra. Deformation of the seafloor under ocean wave loading ({\textquotedblleft}compliance{\textquotedblright}) raises noise levels at long period (>5 s) for both vertical and horizontal components at shallow water sites. Pressure gauge data is now routinely used to predict and remove this source of noise on vertical component data. We have developed horizontal pressure gradient (HPG) gauges to measure and remove this source of noise from horizontal component data. The combination of HPG data and shielding enables low noise long period seismic observations at otherwise very noisy shallow seafloor sites.},

	abstract = {ABSTRACTIncreasing public awareness that the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest is capable of great earthquakes (magnitude 9 and greater) motivates the Cascadia Initiative, an ambitious onshore/offshore seismic and geodetic experiment that takes advantage of an amphibious array to study questions ranging from megathrust earthquakes, to volcanic arc structure, to the formation, deformation and hydration of the Juan De Fuca and Gorda Plates. Here, we provide an overview of the Cascadia Initiative, including its primary science objectives, its experimental design and implementation, and a preview of how the resulting data are being used by a diverse and growing scientific community. The Cascadia Initiative also exemplifies how new technology and community-based experiments are opening up frontiers for marine science. The new technology{\textemdash}shielded ocean bottom seismometers{\textemdash}is allowing more routine investigation of the source zone of megathrust earthquakes, which almost exclusively lies offshore and in shallow water. The Cascadia Initiative offers opportunities and accompanying challenges to a rapidly expanding community of those who use ocean bottom seismic data.},
